From bike-city Houten a quarter-hour into town for rest and recovery
About Houten
Houten was designed as the cycling city of the Netherlands: cars go around the outside, cyclists cut straight through. Unique, and quietly genius — you feel the rhythm of the city differently, gentler. The Oude Dorp around the Brink still has its village character, and the Rondweg routes are perfect for a run before or after work. A good place to live, and not surprising it's one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the province.
How to Get Here
By car about fifteen minutes via the A27 (exit Lunetten or Hooggelegen). By train from Houten or Houten Castellum it's six to eight minutes to Utrecht Centraal; from there a ten-minute bike ride or bus 28 will get you to the Vondellaan. Drivers can reserve a free spot at the door when booking.

Massage from Houten
From Houten to the practice is about a quarter of an hour. Car via the A27, or Sprinter from Houten Castellum or Houten to Utrecht Centraal in six minutes. A lot of clients from Houten go for the train because it's faster than people think, and the last leg (ten minutes by bike or bus 28) doubles as a calm wind-down after a busy day.
Houtenaren live in one of the most practical cities in the Netherlands, but 'practical' also means: everything efficient, calendar tight, family running, and only really exhaling on weekends. Even those weekends often fill up. At some point no cup of coffee feels like a real pause anymore. A holistic massage is the one moment where your system gets to lock down.

Tip from Houten
From Houten the train-and-bike route is Houten at its most Houten: ring-road cycle path to the station, intercity stop, and the last stretch in Utrecht through quiet Zuidwest. From the Vondellaan, the city suddenly feels much smaller.
